Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

It concerns a 27-year-old man who returned from a trip abroad barely two weeks ago. This was announced by the Ministry of Health’s spokesperson Mohammad Syahril at a press conference on Sunday.

— This is a self-limiting disease that disappears after 20 days if the patient does not already have any aggravating diseases, says Syahril, adding that the government currently does not see the need to implement any restrictions to limit the spread of infection.

The infected man self-isolates, but his condition is not clear.

During Sunday, the first case of monkeypox was also reported in Cuba.

So far, 139 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in Sweden. The cases have been reported from several regions, with the most cases from the Stockholm region, according to statistics from the Public Health Authority.

Approximately 31,000 cases of monkeypox have been detected in nearly 90 countries. It is a disease that can cause rashes, sores and blisters. Symptoms are often mild but can become severe in people at risk, and in older studies conducted in Africa some mortality has also been reported.

There are drugs that seem to have some effect against the infection and that can be used in severe disease.
